Understanding Azure accounts

SCM Azure accounts enable you to connect SCM to Azure registered applications for certificate discovery, enrollment, and issuance.

Azure accounts are used for the following:

  • Azure Key Vault — Discover certificates, and enroll certificates with CSR generation and certificate storage from Azure Key Vault.

  • SCEP Intune — Validate SCEP certificate requests issued through Intune.

  • Intune Exporter — Export client certificates and private keys from SCM to Intune.

Azure accounts require the registration of an application in Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure Active Directory). The required configuration of the registered application differs depending on which Azure integration the account is being used with. For more information, see:

Azure accounts can be managed on the Integrations  Azure Accounts page.
